Chapter 1, Page 8. Transcript below.Panel 1: The conversation continues. Princess Nebula smiles at Alice’s avatar. Alice continues to talk via the real-time voice chat feature. In the background, a bunch of droids are coming by – one of them is HAPI, who talks via emoticons.
HAPI: ?
NEBULA: Our strike teams are important, so I take the time for each of them: you included.
NEBULA: Sorry if I’m embarrassing you, Commander….
ALICE: (to game) I don’t mind the attention.
Panel 2: A close up of Alice’s face as she talks into the controller.
NEBULA: Are you trying to advance your career?
ALICE: (to game) No. It’s just…
Panel 3: Alice looks downcast, hit with a wave of emotion she wasn’t fully expecting.
ALICE: (to game, and also, to self) (small) I like it when you talk to me.
ALICE (con’t) Just to me.
NEBULA: Oh. Well. Careful there, Field Commander Bootybounce.
Panel 4: Nebula is friendly and perhaps, just a bit flirty. Now HAPI is at her side.
NEBULA: I might think you were flirting with me.
HAPI: ?
Panel 5: Alice, tired looking, talks to the screen (which is the facing panel.)
ALICE: Would it be so bad if I did?
NEBULA: Hmmm.
ALICE: Are you free later?
Panel 6: Nebula’s face is ambiguous, as is her response.
NEBULA: How about we come back to that?
NEBULA: (con’t) Perhaps later on.
